I'd say yeah, if you're hardcore against guns, you probably shouldn't play CoD.

Then again, you probably shouldn't play it because it's really getting old anyway.

as an avid bf3 gamer - more of the same? its basically a BF3 expansion... what have this become... COD?

When I hear the argument about hammers, I laugh, because who ever believes that is a dumbass. And then I realize, people actually believe it, and then I'm sad.

Yes, assault rifles are outnumbered by hammers . . . maybe. Actually, BLUNT OBJECTS outnumbers rifles, but that includes bats, bricks, printers, pianos, pipes, candle holders and the whole ensemble of clue.

Now, in reality most murder is between people who know each other. That's why serial killers are more terrifying. They're killing people they don't know, seemingly at random. Which puts the paranoia in the population and people start freaking. Random killings just seem more terrifying. For some reason people just don't expect their mom to kill them. Who knows why, must be some weird fluke or Buddha or something.

The idea that I can go watch a movie with my daughter and some guy with an overloaded assault rifle, body armour etc can come in and just shoot everyone is way more terrifying a prospect than my mother-in-law finally snapping and picking up a knife and stabbing me. First off, I could totally kick her ass. Second, the former I can't do anything about. Despite the "it takes a good man with a gun" bullshit, reality shows otherwise. 9mm versus bulletproof vest, smoke grenade, IED's and assault rifles just doesn't cut it. But I don't play CoD . . .

In regards to the constitution, yeah, when it was written the military and the people had the same access to weaponry. Matter of fact, we didn't even have a standing army. It really was up to the states to get a regulated militia to keep the country safe from invaders. So comparing that to printed newspapers and tv and internet is, well, simple. It's a similar argument most paranoid gun owners use for everything. Let's just take a superficial look and ignore reality. Kind of like real dictators and tyrants taking away 22mm hand guns while pointing their tanks at your house.

I think that's the greatest irony . . . those who wish to own guns to protect themselves from tyrants are blindly following their leaders and scream for murder and revolt, or 1766 will rise again! yadda yadda, are becoming the same puppets they claim they are protecting themselves from. No one saw Hitler coming? Well, he sounded a lot like Beck honestly. So did Stalin, etc. The people who followed them thought they made absolute sense, and then this and that happened and now we all know them as mass murdering fiends.

So again, are we really talking gun control so we have the right to become the fourth reich, or are we really wanting a worthwhile discussion on saving lives?

Ditto. I like the vehicles, jets, huge maps, flexibility, etc. CoD is too small, crowded, linear, etc.

I thought the very first CoD was really good. There were moments that were genuinely innovative and emotional. I still remember the start of the Russian campaign and the feeling of being thrown into the meat grinder.

The first MW wasn't bad either. Again there were some fantastic set pieces.

But after that, it started to feel like a parody of itself.

I don't think I understood a single damn thing he said except that he dislikes white privileged people. You know, like him.

Not a CoD fan anyways, for Multiplayer or single player.

Better than all those WWII shooters though IMO. TBH I like the modern shooters, and I'm looking forward to the dash of futuristics in Black Ops 2.

Warfighter is reviewed as a shit game though, so if you are taking that as the standard of modern shooters, it would be a bad representation of modern shooters.

CoD is killing the genre by not updating their graphic engine though.

>> ^charliem:

Fairly well spot on. Modern shooters have had their run in the sun. Nothing but tripe now, done to death.

Common Ant, These NMA clips are truly crappy - I know you have it in you to post better stuff.
NMA needs to die a boring death.


NMA rocks!!!!!!!

I'll come in with a flamebait: looks the same as ever, like any CoD games for the past 3-4 years. Nothing changed. Nothing different. Just the same old junk over and over and over... This time, they're taking a page out of Battlefield 2142. Ooh, it's da future! Woopie do... Wake me up when the CoD franchise uses a brand-spakin' new engine. And much like the past CoD games, you'll get a bunch of foul-mouthed kiddies spewing profanities every 10 seconds or after each kill and will insult you via message if you happen to be #1 in that round.

Time for something different. Wake me up when the CoD franchise actually has something new and different to present to the players.

He's banking knife throws off ceilings and walls. Also, gravity affects the knife and tomahawk, so not only do you have to lead the target but you have to take that into account as well, making the distance shots he pulls off pretty impressive. Plus, he got these 15,000 kills in one week of playtime (see the original YT description). I'd say that's pretty damn skillful.
/shrug
But maybe I'm a noob and everybody else can do that easily.

Anyone have an opinion on how skilful this is? I always thought COD wasn't the most skilful of games, more geared to a broader audience who don't appreciate large skill gaps.
Bottom line - is this really skillful?



Seriously 15k in one week? I've got thousands of kills in Reach but over several months. He must be chained to his console with a bucket nearby.

How still lies the bay, in the light western airs
Which blow from the crimson horizon
Once more we tack home, with a dry empty hold
Saving gas with the breezes so fair
She's a kindly Cape Islander, old but still sound
But so lost in the longliner's shadow
Make and Break and make do, but the fish are so few
That she won't be replaced should she founder

Now it's so hard to not think of before the big war
When the cod went so cheap, but so plenty
Foreign trawlers go by now with long-seeing eyes
Taking all where we seldom take any
And the young folk don't stay with the fisherman's ways
Long ago they all moved to the cities
And the ones left behind, old and tired and blind
Won't work for a pound, for a penny

In Make and Break Harbour the boats are so few
Too many are pulled up and rotten
Most houses stand empty, old nets hung to dry
Are blown away, lost, and forgotten

Now I can see the big draggers have stirred up the bay
Leaving lobster traps smashed on the bottom
Can they think it don't pay to respect the old ways
That Make and Break men have not forgotten
For we still keep our time to the turn of the tide
And this boat that I built with my father
Still lifts to the sky, the "one lunger" and I
Still talk like old friends on the water

No he just sucks at COD. No 3 year old is owning me. The time they put in counts for like 1/10 of what I get out of it.
